is incremented if the system tries to compact memory
but failed.
-compact_pages_moved
- is incremented each time a page is moved. If
- this value is increasing rapidly, it implies that the system
- is copying a lot of data to satisfy the huge page allocation.
- It is possible that the cost of copying exceeds any savings
- from reduced TLB misses.
-
-compact_pagemigrate_failed
- is incremented when the underlying mechanism
- for moving a page failed.
-
-compact_blocks_moved
- is incremented each time memory compaction examines
- a huge page aligned range of pages.

It is possible to establish how long the stalls were using the function
tracer to record how long was spent in __alloc_pages_nodemask and
using the mm_page_alloc tracepoint to identify which allocations were
